Patented Sept. 15, 1942 rmzms DERIVATIVES Gaetano F. DAlelio and James w. Underwood, Pittsfieid, Masa, assignors to General Electric Company, a corporation of New York No Drawing. Application September 30, 194 1,v Serial No. 413,007 v 12 Claims. (Cl. 260-248) This invention relates to new chemical compounds and more particularly to triazine derivatives. The invention es ecially is concerned with the production of new and useful guanazo tri azines.

The triazine derivatives of this invention may be represented graphically by the following gen- In the above formula R represents a member of the class consisting of hydrogen and monovalent hydrocarbon and halo-hydrocarbon radicals, nu-

merous illustrative examples of which are: aliphatic (e. g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, allyl,

butyl, secondary butyl, isobutyl, butenyl, amyl,- isoamyl, hexyl, etc.) including cycloaliphatic (e.

g., cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, 'cyclohexyl, cyclo hexenyl, cycloheptyl, eta); aryl (e. g., phenyl; diphenyl or xenyl, naphthyl, etc.) aliphatic-substituted aryl (e. g., tolyl, xylyl, ethylphenyl, propyl-phenyl, allylphenyl, isopropylphenyl, 2 butenylphenyl, tertiary-butylphenyl, etc.); arylsubstituted-aliphatic (e; g., benzyl, phenylethyl, phenylpropyl, cinnamyl, phenylisopropyl, etc.); and their homologues, as well as those groups with one or more of their hydrogen atoms substituted .by, for example, a halogen. Specific examples of halogeno-substituted hydrocarbon radicals are chlorphenyl, chlorcyclohexyl, chlorethyl, dichlorphenyl, ethylchlorphenyl, phenylchlorethyl, brompropyl, bromtolyl, etc. Preferably R in Formula I is hydrogen. However, there also may be produced in accordance with the presentinvention chemical compounds corresponding to the general formula: v

where R is a member of the class consisting of hydrogen and monovalent hydrocarbon and halohydrocarbon radicals.

The new triazine derivatives of this invention may be used as intermediates in the preparation of derivatives thereof such as ureido derivatives and semicarbazido derivatives of the individual guanazo triazine. The chemical compounds of this invention are especially valuable in the preparation of synthetic resinous compositions, since 3 they combine in one compound the advantages of the guanazole's and the triazines. Thus, they may 'be condensed with, for instance, aldehydes,

including polymeric aldehydes and aldehyde-addi-.

tion products, to yield condensation products of particular utility in the plastics and coating arts. Such condensation products are more fullyv described and are specifically claimed in our 00- pending application Serial No. 413,006, filed concurrently herewith and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.

Various methods may be employed to produce the chemical compounds of this invention. One suitable method comprises effecting reactionbetween a mono-hydrazine diam'ino [(NHR)2] triazine and dicyandiamide, (cyanoguanidine). This reaction may be represented by the following general equation:

In the above equation R has the same meaning as given above with reference to the general Formula I for the triazine derivatives of this invention. This reaction advantageously may be fcarried out in an aqueous medium and preferably in the presence of one mol of inorganic acid (e. g.,

hydrochloric, hydrobrcmic, sulfuric,'etc.) for each mol of hydrazino triazine. The acid may be present in the form of an inorganic acid mono salt of I the hydrazino trlazine.

In place of the dicyandiamide in the above reaction, biguanide (guanylguanidine) may be used.- In this case it is preferable either to use two molds of inorganic acid for each mol of hydrazine diaminc triazine or to use the marganic acid mono salt of both the biguanide and the hydrazino-triazine, since two mols of ammonia will be liberated. This reaction may be represented by'the following general equation:

I With reference to general Equations III and IV above, it will be noticed that both preparations of the novel compounds of the invention involve the reaction of a mone-hydrazino diamine triazine and a substituted guanidine selected from the class consisting ofcyanoguanidine and guanylguanidine. For the preparation of guanane triaxines in which the substituent groups attached to the carbon. atoms of the guanaze radical are -NHR groups as shown in" general Formula I, where R is a menevalent hydrecarben r hale-hydrocarbon radical, several methods may be used. One suitable method involves the reaction of substituted cyaneguanidines (e. 8., N-phenyl N'-cyane guanidine,-N-

- (metatolyl) N'-cyane guanidine, N=(para-telyl) N'-cyane guanidine, etc.) or substituted guanylsuanidines (e. g., N-phenyl N'-guanyl guanidine, N-ethyl N'-phenyl N"-guanyl guanidine, N- phenyl N'-phenyl N"-guanyl guanidine, N-phenyl N'-phenyl (N-phenyl guanyl) guanidine, N,N- diethyl guanyl guanidine, etc.) with the hydrazine trlazine. Another method involves theamminelysis of the NH: groups attached to the carbon atoms of the guanaze radical with primary amines (e. g., methyl amine, ethyl amine, prepyi amine, iseprepyl amine, aniline, teluidine, cyclehexyl amine, etc.) so that the -NH: groups dried. The following equation represents the reaction:

are replaced by -NH.R groups where R is a hydrocarben radical corresponding to the hydro carbon radical of the primary amine.

Illustrative examples of hydrazine diamine 1,3,5-triazines that may be used, depending upon the particular product sought, are listed below:

In order that those skilled in the art better may understand how the present invention may he -carried into eflect, the following illustrative examples thereof are given. All parts are by weight.

Dicyandiamide 84.0 Water 1000.0

The above ingredients were heated\ together under reflux at the boiling temperatureef the mass for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 40 parts of sodium hydroxide in 400 parts water were added to the reaction mass to convert the ammonium chloride to sodium chloride and ammonium hydroxide. The precipitated 2-guanaze 4,6-diamino 1,3,5-triazine was filtered off, washed free of soluble salts and Same as Example '1 with the exception that 137.5 parts of biguanide hydrochloride (guanylguanidine menehydrechleride) are used in place of 84 parts dicyandiamide. In this case two mols ammonium chloride are obtained as a by-product of the reaction for each mol of 2-guanazo 4,6-

' diamine 1,3,5-triazine.

In the same way as above described for the preparation. of moneguanaze diamine triazine, diguanaze monoamino triazine and triguanaze triazine may be produced by using the appropriate hydrazine triazine and dicyandicmide or biguanide in the proper molar mounts.
